Disable Fan Mode Control
In most cases, fan mode settings will remain the same for both occupied and unoccupied modes. If this is the case, selecting this will prevent the additional request needed to command the fan mode.
Check for offline status prior to commands
The API at the time of this writing accepts commands even though the device is offline. Commands aren’t queued in this situation. Checking this will ensure that the status of the thermostat is checked first to make sure it is online, then send the command. Otherwise, an error is sent and the command fails.
Note: If you have thermostats with different options and settings, your global settings might be invalid for those different thermostats. (e.g. one thermostat has different climate settings than others).
